Meet Sandy Raysor-Taylor
Sandy Deloris Raysor-Taylor is the founder, owner, and Chief Litigator for the firm of Raysor-Taylor Law, P.A. located in Baltimore, MD. A member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, she received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Baltimore. Ms. Raysor-Taylor was awarded the Angelos Scholar Award for her outstanding performance in law school before going on to obtain her Master’s Degree in Public Administration LL.M in taxation.
After law school, Ms. Raysor-Taylor continued her full-time career in health insurance working at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Maryland, Principal Financial Group, and finally at the Maryland Insurance Administration as Division Chief of the Life and Health Division. Ms. Raysor-Taylor’s performance at the Maryland Insurance Administration earned her the Insurance Commissioner of Maryland Citation of Excellence. After leaving the Maryland Insurance Administration, Ms. Raysor-Taylor launched the operation of her law firm on a full-time basis and continued to soar. The firm boasts multi-million dollar personal injury settlements and a strong client base.
Why is she Barred and Beautiful?
Ms. Raysor-Taylor has proudly broken several barriers throughout her career. She was the first African-American woman from her high school in Blackville, SC to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from her undergraduate institution of Columbia College in Columbia, SC, a small and private liberal arts college for women only at the time. In addition, Ms. Raysor-Taylor was the first African-American woman from Blackville, SC to earn a law degree. During her time with the Maryland Insurance Commission, Ms. Raysor-Taylor became the first African-American woman and youngest person to hold the position of Life and Health Division Chief at the Maryland Insurance Administration.
Ms. Raysor-Taylor’s most notable and precedent-setting case was her victory over the United States Department of Justice in the case In Re: Gloria Megginson in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland. Her victory in that case shaped bankruptcy laws after the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform and allowed individuals to continue to be eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing who would have otherwise have been required to be file under Chapter 13.
